Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Wraith King wins the Sand King vs Wraith King matchup: Wraith King beats Sand King in 54.44% of 23,403 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down a target is Sand King’s whole game plan, but it falls apart against Wraith King. Sand King commits his Blink Dagger, Burrowstrike, and a full Epicenter channel, only for Wraith King to absorb it all and then come back to the fight with Reincarnation. This one interaction wastes Sand King’s longest cooldown and leaves him exposed in the middle of the enemy team with no spells left. The very thing that makes him a great initiator is completely nullified by Wraith King's ultimate.
This forces Sand King to play around Wraith King entirely, trying to find pickoffs on softer targets in the backline. It’s a much riskier way to play. Wraith King, on the other hand, can stand confidently in the front, knowing his most direct counter has to ignore him. He can farm safely and lead pushes, daring the Sand King to start a fight on him. If Sand King does take the bait and uses his ultimate, WK's team can easily punish him after Reincarnation triggers and the spell is wasted.
